Happy birthday 🎊🎉 GNU/Linux.

Today GNU/Linux is 32 years old.

It was thankfully released to the public on August 25th, 1991 by Linus Torvalds when he was only 21 years old student.

What a lovely journey 🤍

If you don't know what that means, congrats, you're part of the problem

Ok you sold me, I'll go back to windows. Fine job building a community.

So, you're going to punish yourself because of what somebody said to you?

I don't feel punished by stepping away from people like him. If my choices are that guy and his ilk or the occasional ad for bing, I'll take bing. At least that goes away when you click a button.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
